Gen. Sam HOust0n's Grave.

A patriotic Young man, reared in
Texas. on his first visit to the eastern
section OF the State, stopped at Hunts
vile to visit Houston's grave. At the
graveyard 1t was with difficulty that he
found the spot, marked only by plain
slab, with no evidence Of care and atten-
ton. To find the last resting-place Of
Texas hero and statesman thus neglect
ed greatly surprised and panied him,
If we had had no Sam Houston, we
could have had no San Jacinto, and II
San Jacinto, no Republic Of Texas, or
Lone Star State. 1t would, then, be a
fitting tribute to his memory and serve
to keep alive patriotic impulses in her
citizens IL our great State would erect
suitable monument to mark his grave
and perpetuate the memory Of her great
est citizen. The name of Houston and
the history of San Jacinto should be
told in "sOng and story" till every child
in the broad domain Of Texas Is fami-
liar with the great name and grand
event when "a nation was born In
day." The courage and valor of the
700 heroes who won the battle Of San
Jacinto have never been surpassed and
rarely equalled in the record "of deeds
of noble daring" The Earl Of Cardi-
gan and the immortal 1000" had their
prototype in the heroes of Jan Jacinto.
The gratitude and patriotism Of our
people could find no more appropri-
ate expression than for our Legislature
to have erected on the battlefield Of San
Jacinto and at Houston's grave suita-
BILE memorials to mark these historic
places thus perpetuating the memory
and the names Of the patriot heroes
who won the bvttle on this birthday OF
nation. Our present Legislature
could render no more acceptable service
than to inaugurate this patriotic work.

Il This Dot

A few years ago little book fell into
our hands, recounting the experience OF a
certain prominent business man, from
which IL appeared that as with most
Americans, too close attention TO business
had broken his health. The doctor said he
could not live He then stated that he
used a certain article which effectually
cured him, and tout of gratitude for his
own recovery he determined to devote
portion Of his fortune to spreading its
merits before the world.n
As we read il we said: This is evidently
shrewd expression of a commercial
motive; il sounds well il reads we'll but
many people will not believe it.
In a few years, however, that man got
famous the world over. He gave several
hundred thousand dollars to astronomical
research, cand his name became hou Sc
hold word in nearly every home in the
Hundreds of thousands of people to-day
without reservation, say that to this man
alone they owe their lives
IL ten men are collected together the
chances are that IL one man accidentally
refers to Warmers safe cure seven of them
will be able to tell, from their own expert
ence or from the experience of their friends,
of marvellous results which that remedy
has wrought.
Nothing has ever been put on the mar
ket, we are told, the sale of which has been
so great and kept up so wonderfully, and
this alone Is evidence that merit is at the
bottom OF its popularity
In our files we find many an advertise
ment from this house. Some people have
believed, have used and have been cured:
others have disbelieved, have not used
and died
The manufacturers have stated, as the
result of their most careful Investigations
that the condition of the kidneys is the
key to health, and that they know IL the
kidneys are maintained in health by
Warmers safe cure, ninety-three per cent.
of diseases would disappear.
The uric acid, or waste of the system.
left in the blood, by what may be called
constipated kidneys, blocks up the system
and carries disease to every organ.
This statement, made time and time
again, is so full of sense that it is now ac-
cepted as q scientific truth by insurance
companies who reject millions of risks
every year il there is the least inactivity
of those organs.
The public is tired OF the wrangles of
this school and OF that school, and it is
quick to recognize anything that has such
conceded merit and on this ground alone
can we account for its extraordinary sales
and popularity.
